Bell Quotations

The bell that tolls for all in boxing belongs to a cash register.

I did great things in the theater. I did some nice roles, 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' or 'La Vie en Rose.' And I love my role in 'Frantic.'

I always thought Tinker bell was really cool. I'd like to be able to shrink down to a really small size and fly around to places, play tricks on people... you know, fairy-like stuff.

I remember visiting my grandmother Adele in Ponce Inlet, Florida, when I was three years old, and she had an IBM electric typewriter. I thought that this electric typewriter was about the most fascinating toy in the world - I liked the little bell and the sounds and the feel of the keys and especially the erase key.

I found that my career at Bell Telephone Labs thrived because of the environment, which encouraged cooperative research, offered opportunities for access to sophisticated equipment, and fellowship.

I was a big fan of this guy named Art Bell - I don't know if you've heard of him before. I listened to his overnight show for years, and he had all these guys on at one time or another, and they talked about psychic spies and remote viewing and all that stuff. I actually was fascinated by it - more about the guys than about what they were doing.

I read The Bell Jar, and then I read her memoir and her diaries, and a third book, an outside opinion. Just the way she made the pillows so neat on the oven door. It just seems to be the opposite of, if you're going to take your life, in a horrible rage it happens.

My decision to come to Bell Telephone Laboratories immediately after obtaining my Ph.D. in 1936 was strongly influenced by the fact that my supervisor would be C. J. Davisson.

The film 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,' based the book of the same name, has a line that enlightens and comforts me. The protagonist, who has lost all ability to move except one eye, discusses his role as a father. He notes, 'Even a fraction of a father is still a father.'

For me, college wasn't a breeze. I had 8 o'clock classes, I worked from 3 to 11 at the Settlement House. On weekends, if Northwestern Bell needed me, I'd troubleshoot for them, and I had a steady girl. God!

When that bell rang, I wanted to go out there and do my thing.

A lot of children are interested in fairies, especially young girls, and Tinker Bell is the ueber-fairy. She's the pin-up girl of fairies. She's the ultimate fairy, but she's also got a mischievous spirit and she's very strong-willed. I think a lot of youngsters recognize themselves in Tinker Bell.

Why not mix this and that? If soy goes well with fish, how come no one does beef carpaccio with soy? Why do we have such a taste and not another? It's all about culture. There is something, however, that I really don't like: bell peppers.

Be sure to buy organic versions of the 'dirty dozen:' the fruits and vegetables that, when grown conventionally, are loaded with pesticides and chemicals: Grapes, apples, lettuce, bell peppers, carrots, nectarines, peaches, strawberries, pears, kale, and celery.

When I started blogging in 2004, I responded to every comment no matter how nasty the reader was. I was generally polite, believing that these critics would be so charmed by my professionalism that they would see the error of their misogynist ways and swiftly run out to read a bell hooks book. Ha!

I was going to McDonald's and Taco Bell every day. The kids behind the counter knew me - it wouldn't even faze them. Or I'd sit up at Denny's or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad. I got so heavy that people started to not recognize me.

When people say that you kind of just get - you know, just feel like a little buzzed or dazed or had your bell rung - they consider that a concussion. I wouldn't. But if that is considered a concussion, I would say any football player at least records 50 to 100 in the course of a year.

On the Net, the bell curve reclaims its tails. The uncommon is as accessible as the common. The very fragmentation of the Internet allows us to find ourselves in other people - and to know that we are not alone.

When you look at the light bulb above you, you remember Thomas Alva Edison. When the telephone bell rings, you remember Alexander Graham Bell. Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. When you see the blue sky, you think of Sir C.V. Raman.

Most of us cluster somewhere in the middle of most statistical distributions. But there are lots of bell curves, and pretty much everyone is on a tail of at least one of them. We may collect strange memorabilia or read esoteric books, hold unusual religious beliefs or wear odd-sized shoes, suffer rare diseases or enjoy obscure movies.

The pot filler, while certainly a nice and functional piece of equipment, is more of a bell and whistle than anything else,

We extended our track record for double-digit earnings growth to a fourth consecutive year even while integrating Bell Atlantic and Nynex following our merger,

With the new consoles coming out -- and I said this five years ago when the PS2 and Xbox came out -- people all rush to ring the bell for the death knell of PC gaming, and it never seems to happen, and I don't think we're looking at that now, either.

Work has been undertaken to come up with a revised plan and a new application for an all-weather pitch to serve the pupils of Bell Baxter and to provide some community use. The meeting will give everyone the chance to see the plans and share their views.

This will probably be on the same level - if not bigger - than the Ralph Bell crusade.

What we're envisioning now is developing a set of services that students, faculty and staff are asking for and that we can deliver efficiently. Bell Tower will serve as a blueprint for how to develop an infrastructure at Duke to support growth in emerging digital data, audio and video applications in new and existing buildings on campus.

There are no benefits in this merger for consumers or the U.S. economy. This merger continues the anticompetitive resurrection of the old Bell monopoly.

We declared it an emergency situation here at Edward Bell so we can just work as quickly as possible. That's the biggest thing is getting (students) back to school.

We're having more patrols outside of the schools in the morning bell time and afternoon bell time, and also during cafeteria time -- lunch time.

We've rung the bell at $600 and now we're perhaps ready to consolidate before we consider higher price levels.

Liam Plunkett has made a promising start to his international career and is an emerging player with great potential. Ian Bell has also been named in both squads as we believe his ability to bat in the top order will give us another option as we continue to plan for the World Cup in 2007.

So far, the pressure is not that great. It's sort of ringing the bell for us. We've learned to compete effectively with Frontier, and we'll do the same with Southwest.

She tells us to order from Taco Bell and she sits there and likes to smell and see the food.

She could also testify to bouts of rage, sexual problems and other behavior consistent with steroid use. If he said he didn't use and he knowingly used them, he is in trouble and Bell can help the government's case.

Miller has chosen, for whatever reason, to be the bell ringer for (concessions for) the next five years. He's been pretty outspoken. Auto executives have been dancing around this for a while, but they're not saying anything. They're sitting back and will reap the rewards. They sent the messenger and will reap the rewards.

More of the same ... the TSE two, Bell and Nortel, those are essentially what have been driving the market.

Maybe Chris doesn't know the difference. This is a slanderous distortion of the record, and Chris Bell should be ashamed of himself.

My teammates know if they are going to use Raja Bell and Eddie House on me, it's a mismatch and they are gonna get me the ball.

If we don't, we could end up with Democrats in the Legislature and, Heaven forbid, a liberal like Chris Bell for governor.

I grew it out specifically for the race. This feels fantastic. It feels like you're about to die out on the course, but boy, nothing feels better than finishing down Main Street. It's a beautiful hill, the church bell is ringing, everyone is cheering. It's wonderful.

Based upon what I know, I think Bell is bullish.

I ended up working in Michigan for a young company called Sycor out of Michigan, worked there, and that company got bought by Northern Telecom. We became the Bell Northern Research Labs of Northern Telecom.

God comes to see without ringing the bell

I got a text message this morning but didn't think it was true. Coach Bell was a great man and put a lot of faith in me. I want to thank him for that. Everyone is sad. We can't get this off our minds.

If what we understand is being considered, this is a huge step . . . in the wrong direction. Essentially, you have the government picking winners and losers by giving the Bell monopolies a special break.

He is a good athlete. He is the bell cow of their defense. They structure their defense around him. He makes the calls and he runs the alleys well. He keeps everybody aligned so that they do not get out of position. He is a dangerous football player.

Today let us hear the bell ring loud and clear and true to our conscience, ... Let it ring out a century of cruelty and destruction and let it ring in a millennium of hope and peace.

We told the kids before the game that they had to answer the bell every week. If you lose one region game, you have to get right back up the next week because in this region, there are no easy games.

Going into the year, our No. 1 challenge was to improve sales trends at Taco Bell and KFC, and I am encouraged by progress at both brands,

It appears that options traders are bracing for volatility in Heinz and the increase in call volume suggests that many are positioning for a move higher. This might be due to the acquisition talks, but also an earnings report due out before the opening bell on February 28.

I thought we did a good job against Kyle Bell the first half. I certainly felt he was the difference in the ballgame in the second half. That's the first time our football team has got knocked off the ball this year. We certainly got knocked off the line of scrimmage in the second half by their offensive line.

I thought we had a shot there when we hit those threes. But we were all on the bench when Hay hit his three and we all thought, 'Great, he's shooting threes in the last minute of the game.' That was kind of the death bell for us.

I think we play better when we're desperate. The big question mark now is, can we answer the bell again a second time? We've played some games like that in our building and then we haven't come back with near the emotion or intensity. We have to play with the same sense of desperation or increase it for more minutes if we expect to win.

I thought Raja Bell did a good job of playing Rip a different way every time. You got a guy that can score off screens like Rip, you can't do the same thing every time. He'll pick you apart. They did a good job of switching things up. It kind of confused Rip for a minute. I think when he went and sat down and saw how he was playing defense, when he went back in there, he made some adjustments.

I thought Peter Brown give us a nice life in the first half and I thought Ben really answered the bell in the second half. There was some key buckets that Ben delivered on. I thought we competed hard and played with a lot of energy. This was a team win where everyone contributed.

I think Bell and Rogers are probably formulating their opinions on the subject.

It is important to take stock of where we are in 2006. In the last decade, the Bell monopolies have all but wiped out their telephone competitors; they have swallowed their long-distance competitors; and with the announcement of the AT&T-BellSouth merger, they are on the verge of recreating Ma Bell. And only one competitor really stands in their way: the cable industry.

I was a little concerned that somebody we consider a pillar on our team wasn't ready when the bell rang. It was one of those, 'All ashore that's going ashore,' and she wasn't ready to go.

Kyle surely would like to throw the ball more, but he understands who the bell cow on this team is. Even though the numbers don't look very good, I'm very comfortable thus far with his decision-making process.

Kyle Bell is a stud, Luke Roberts is a stud and everybody already knows what a great player Anderson is. And Justin made some big-time throws.

Kristen Bell is one of my best friends. I've had the pleasure of working with some really great people, and Kristen is just a beautiful, talented young lady.

I think Ferguson is going to have a great year. He is actually catching the ball better on punt returns than I've seen. He's squaring the ball better, attacking the ball better. Making better catches. We know what Johnnie Lee Higgins can do. Dustin Bell will help us in that area. And Marcus Thomas, if we have to have him back there on kickoff returns, we will.

Over the longer term, Chris Bell is building a new foundation of statewide growth that will raise sufficient money to win in November.

People who live in glass houses have to answer the bell

Re: Ian Bell becoming England captain I always thought it was customary for the England captain to lose form after he'd been named captain rather than before.

Ore had some good runs. He put the ball on the ground one time, but I thought he showed some quickness through the hole. And I thought George Bell showed some good ability, too.

Part of the process of reading is constantly hitting the pause button, and now and then the rewind button, to ponder a word that's been chosen by the author as exquisitely as the filmmaker chooses an image or a sound editor chooses a sonic clue - the tolling of a bell in the distance to evoke memory, for instance.

Our offense, for the second day in a row, really saw the bell well. Our middle of the order is really producing early on in the season.

Our long-range goal, once we get high-school students off the yellow buses, is to start looking at adjusting the bell time of elementary schools. Then we can reduce the number of buses, and then we will see the savings.

Our offensive line answered the bell tonight. It's been a while since we've had one of those games from our line. But it was pretty darn good football.

Look, Daddy: Teacher says that every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.

Marvin Bell always looked very closely at how lines could break, how you could put over one line into the second line. How you could stop the line two or three times within the line: You could make it stop.

I wish I had brought that bell today. Jim would have appreciated that.

I think my dad did legal work for someone who had a Packard Bell 8088, and they couldn't pay him, so they gave him a computer. I was initially not allowed to touch it, but that didn't last long. I started tinkering with it, and there were many times I screwed up the computer.

While Bell has made significant improvements in the overall football program during the past two and a half years, we believe that this decision is in the best interest of Jackson State, its fans and alumni. We would like to thank coach Bell for his untiring efforts and sincere love for the players.

We have a lot of kids who have jobs, who are out for other sports or have little brothers and sisters to take care of and they just can't stay at school until six o'clock every night. What the seventh-period PE program allows us to do is work with them until the final bell of the day - and maybe a half-hour more.

We have to know that they have other guys that are capable. Charlie Bell has played well. T.J. Ford had a pretty good game overall and we've got to continue to find those two. Just do what we normally do. Our philosophy is to contest whatever shot is taken, try to limit three-point shots and rebound the basketball. Those are three things we did.

U S West was dealt some bad cards with geography (a sparsely populated region), and from 1984-2000 it took a bad hand and made it worse. That's the reason why Qwest is the orphan Bell and is likely to remain so.

You know, Equal Interest played at the Bell Atlantic Jazz Festival Awards and not one musician from that category was even thought of. Even thought of! The idea, that here's this vital energy, and that element doesn't even know it exists!

We needed the Bell expertise to make sure we got the coverage correct so the infrastructure would support all the things we wanted to do with it.

We haven't put everything together for any length of time. Maybe when the bell rings and we start for real, we can put it together. A lot of these guys haven't played together. It's going to take a while for the chemistry to come together, but this team has the ability to do that, to come together as a team. But, again, that comes from winning and enjoying the game.

Those guys all want the ball and they will grind it out. Rob Bell for his third consecutive day went out and did a terrific job. It's either feast or famine. Sometimes a bullpen is so overworked and sometimes they don't get any work. For right now, they know they're going to get the ball.

When I got here the lounges were the thing. That's how Las Vegas got to be Entertainment Capitol of the World. The first lounge act I saw in Las Vegas was Freddie Bell and Sonny King at the Sands.

Were you told at any stage in the course of the ... maintenance work that there was any problem with the bell crank or that the bell crank was removed?

We thought this is a great way to start some real connections, to have kids on the same bell schedule.

We think they're positioned very well to compete with the satellite TV folks and the regional bell operating companies. Their competitive position is based on their ability to offer the triple play.

Trying to document that was a circus. I talked to former superintendents, teachers and students. I made a lot of calls. I have several theories in the book, and maybe one of them is true. The closest bell was the most difficult to document.

This will function not as a bell tower, but as a vertical structure that collects the buildings. It's open and people will gather and walk around.

This shows how much our senior leadership of Matt Rosenfeld, Matthew Mills and Jeff Bell have really stepped it up. They have taken the view that this team can accomplish great things, and they are pulling the team in with them.
